Over the course of his career,
Gary Matthews
made 4,617 plate appearances.
Matthews
was worth
14.2 Wins Above Replacement
and -1.4 Wins Above Average.
After adjusting for length of schedule, catchers, and relief pitchers, the 14.2 WAR becomes
14.2 adjWAR. Then, WAA is adjusted by ignoring negative seasons
(thus, truly capturing a player’s peak seasons) and making similar adjustments for catchers and relief pitchers.
After these adjustments, the -1.4 WAA becomes 7.2 adjWAA.
Then, the adjWAR and adjWAA are combined, but with extra weighting given to adjWAA.
This gives Matthews 27.2 wWAR. wWAR is then converted to Hall Rating.
A Hall Rating of 100 represents the Hall of Stats borderline (similar to OPS+ or wRC+, where 100 represents league average).
Gary Matthews has a Hall Rating of
26,
leaving him nowhere close to induction to the Hall of Stats.
